Every year, May the Fourth—Star Wars Day— comes around, and it’s time to celebrate the greatest space story ever told–sorry, Startrek–in the history of the galaxy. There are so many ways to celebrate, like watching all of the movies, dressing up as your favourite Jedi or maybe making Jabba the houmous with friends.
I personally like to celebrate my Star Wars love with some Star Wars-themed gifts. Or maybe you’ve got a partner or friend obsessed with the series, and you want to make them smile on May the Fourth. Either way, you’re in the right place. Here we have an expertly reviewed guide of gifts to say May the Fourth be with you to that special someone.
Here are the best Star Wars Day May the Fourth gifts for 2023:
The Small Baby Gu Bundle
Price: $299.98
Maybe your friend is an avid fan but, for some reason, doesn’t want to shout their love from the rooftops. If they’re that kind of fan, this gift is perfect. Or maybe they, like me, really like baby Grogu and shiny lights. This package of 17 hexagon light panels comes in baby Grogu green and ear-tip pink, perfect for arranging into his cute little silhouette. As an added bonus, you can choose from “the light side” and “the dark side” in the partnered app.
Nanoleafs’ Small Baby Gu Bundle comes with a controller, mounting plates, tape, and a power supply. The panels also respond dynamically to touch and sound. If your friend and baby Grogu end up having a falling out, the panels come in over 16 million colours and can be arranged however they please. The Small Baby Gu Bundle usually costs $299.98 but is currently on sale for $269.98, just in time for Star Wars Day.
Star Wars Timelines
Price: $66.00
Maybe the person you are buying for this Star Wars Day is a lore fanatic; if they are, this Star Wars Timelines hardcover is a perfect addition to their bookshelf. It’s the written history of everything from the time before the High Republic to the fall of the First Order. Star Wars Timelines is sorted chronologically into seven major eras, following the Skywalkers and other crucial characters through time and space.
This gift is also perfect for detail-oriented fans; the book offers deep dives into major and minor events. Kristen Baver, the associate editor of StarWars.com, is the main force behind this book, so you know its accurate information. Give your lore friend the chance to deep-dive and maybe even learn something they didn’t know; after all, knowledge is the best gift, and it’s only $66.00.

Corkcicle Star Wars Collection

This Corkcicle Star Wars line of tumblers, canteens, kid’s cups, etc., comes in a wide range of Star Wars character-inspired designs. Before you ask, yes, there is a Grogu mug with his ears; it was the first thing I looked for, and it’s insanely cute. There are over 40 bottles to choose from in this collection, ranging from Stormtrooper designs to Chewbacca coffee mugs, so it’s guaranteed you’ll find that perfect cup for every fanatic in your life.

Star Wars: The High Republic Comic Series
Price: $18.80
This gift is perfect for both the Marvel comic collectors and Star Wars fans in your life on Star Wars Day. The Star Wars: The High Republic five-volume series follows the golden age of the Jedi. It features stunning artwork from Ario Anindito and is written by best-selling comic author Cavan Scott. The comics follow Padawan Keeve Trennis during the height of the Jedi. Trennis is forced to decide between her Jedi training and saving innocents while she questions who she can trust.
It’s a brand new Star Wars story set centuries before the Empire, and the Skywalker Saga were even a twinkle in the galaxy’s eye. The comic comes with new alien horrors, which is always a plus in my book. This is an excellent addition to any Star Wars fan, comic fan, or fan of both’s collections, especially at $18.80 per book.

Play through all nine Skywalker Saga films in any order you choose; this game comes with a galaxy of fun.

All this fun comes for $59.99, and there are also many add-ons to choose from, like the Mandalorian Season 1 Pack, so yes, Grogu is playable!
